shaun coghlan

Shaun Coghlan is an experienced osteopath with a strong interest in rehabilitation, movement, and long-term musculoskeletal health. He completed his Bachelor of Science (Clinical Science) and Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) at Victoria University and has since developed a practice style that blends hands-on manual therapy with exercise-based rehabilitation, education, and practical lifestyle strategies.

Shaun places a strong emphasis on helping patients understand their condition and actively participate in their recovery. His approach focuses on restoring movement, reducing injury recurrence, and supporting sustainable improvements in health and performance.

Alongside his clinical work, Shaun is an Occupational Health Consultant with Corporate Work Health Australia, where he conducts workplace ergonomic assessments, delivers education, and completes risk assessments across Melbourne. In 2020, he completed a Diploma of Work Health & Safety and was subsequently recognised by Osteopathy Australia as an Advanced Occupational Health Osteopath (Vocational).

Shaun also contributes to the profession as a sessional lecturer in the Osteopathy program at Victoria University, combining academic insight with real-world clinical experience.

Outside the clinic, Shaun has a long-standing background in basketball, having played for over 15 years, including a tour of the USA, before transitioning into coaching junior and senior programs at Blackburn Basketball Club. When he’s not working, he enjoys staying active, playing golf, and following his beloved Collingwood Football Club.

Shaun is available for consultations at our Melbourne CBD clinic on Mondays and Wednesdays, and also practises at The Osteopaths of Blackburn.
